A Cattle Quarantine.

ST. PAUL, May 16.-It is learned here to-
day that the governor of Dakota will
shortly issue a proclamation similar to
that already issued by the governor of
Montana, listing and quarantining against
cattle from or passing through the follow
ing states and territories, believing they
are liable to convey disease: New York,
Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Delaware, District of Columbia,
Texas, Vermont and the Dominion of Can
ada. The cattle will be allowed to pass
through these territories when going to
Washington or Oregon, provided shippers
will agree not to unload while en- route,
but will arrange to feed and water their
cattle on the cars, If, however, the cattle
are bound for Dakota and Montana, thev
must be quarantined ninety days before
they will be permitted to enter. In all
cases cattle should be accompanied by a
certificate of health, specifying the state or
territory the cattle came from and the des-
tination thereof. This applies to emigrants
movables and shipments including live
stock

Eaten by Land Crabs.

In Zola's "Ventre de Paris" the hero Flo
rent, who has escaped from Cayenne, tells
story of one of his comrades who stuck in the
mud while trying to get away from the penal
settlement and was devoured by land crabs,
The story is founded on fact for NJ Ranc re-
lates that the fate which overlook Florent's
friend really befell Planori the son of the Ital-
ian shoemaker, who in 1865 attempted to
shoot the Emperor Napoleon III at the opera,
and was afterward executed. Planori, Jr., ,
was in London at the time, but when he came
to Paris he was arrested by order of the i'm
perial government as dangerous person.
He was banished to Cayenne and was placed,
with forty others, all Republicans, on Devils
island, place from which it was so difficult
to escape that no supervision was exercised
over the convicts. The Republicans, however,
vowed to have their freedom or death, and
raft was constructed with which they ex-
pected to reach Dutch Guiana Out of the
forty thirty-fve only reached their destina-
ton, and these were raving maniacs owing to
hunger, thirst, heat and privation. Three
died from sunstroke and two-a Pole named
Boginski and Planori-tlied to get ashore on
some marshy island, but they sank in the
fetid mud up to their mouths and were found
some days afterward by negroes, their faces
and bodies having been partially eaten away
by monster crabs.-Cor. London Telegraph.

An Athlete on Badness,

IL will bet that you never saw a middle
aged athlete who wasn't baldheaded; and !
will also wager that you never saw an athlete
who didn't wear a skull cap whenever there
was the slightest chance of his head being
exposed to the air." refectively remarked
Professor John B. Latin, the athlete.
"What makes them baldheaded and why
are they so careful about their headss' asked
the reporter.
"Well," was the response, "they get bald
headed-just like me-through excessive
mental and physical exertlon. You never
saw a baldheaded idiot, did you? Athletes in
training sweat good deal, and the sweat, Of
course, acts on the hair of the head. We
always wear skull caps because everybody
knows that nine-tenths Of the colds which are
contracted commence in the head. I protect
my head just as carefully as mother pro
tects' the top of her baby's head.
"By the way" exclaimed the professor,
breaking off in his discourse, II know how &c
cure nine Of mankind of the habit OF
going out of theatres between acts. Now
probably you think those men always want
to get drink. Nineteenth of the men leave
their seats simply because their heads are
cold. You needn't smile. know this to be
fact. have had dozen friends complain
to me about the draughts in theatres between
acts, and l have always suggested that the
way to remedy the evil is to wear skull cap
This brings me back to the point I started
from, and let me tell you that you cannot be
mighty useful. let me tell you."-New York

English Mills Closed .

LONDON, May 16.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press, in view OF the British grain trade
during the week, says: English wheat is
firm. Sales during the week were 57,727
quarters at Sss6d, against 67,172 quarters at
S1s11d during the corresponding period
last year. Wheat crops are making fast
and healthy growth. Foreign wheat is
quiet. Values weaken under the fears that
the Chicago wheat corner will collapse and
throw immense consignments on the Eng
lish market for cash realization. The Eng
lish flour trade is slow. Some of the larg-
est millers are closing and becoming
agents for American -four because they
cannot grind wheat at profit under the
flow of American flour. The English mill
ing industry is threatened with extinction.

Cheap Entertainments in Boston.

lineup entertainments In Boston,
One of the hangers on to certain literary
and artistic circle here is not overburdened
with wealth, but what is lacking in this re-
spect has been made up to her in brass and
ambition. On the whole, she gets on much
better for this destitution than many of
her acquaintance who are better supplied
with modesty and riches. As every one
knows, the winter has been prolific in celebri-
ties of one kind or another who have been
teaed and receptioned to their own and every
body else's satisfaction One of these visit
ants of distinction she was particularly
anxious to entertain, and asked mutual
friend what she should do, saying at the same
time, she would like to give reception for
her. "And why nota" asked the friend
ave can't afford it," responded the other
@But I'll tell you what we can do I'll give
you my apartments and send out the invita-
tions, and you pay for the cake and choco-
late" The mutual friend, who does good deal
of this kind Of hospitality herself, replied she
thought she wouldn't go out of her own
housesto give a reception, even on the choco-
late basis. And the affair never took place.

A Merchant who Cowhided his Son.

In 1924 an old merchant in New York city
started his son, who was inclined to be some
what dissipated, in business. When he set
him up he said to him: "Now. my son, I have
given you ample capital. If you are steady
and take care of it and yourself, you will do
well and make large fortune. Keep out of
bad company-avoid gambling. I will in
dorse all your business notes for purchases.
If you do not do as wish, you will incur my
serious displeasure." Years rolled on, and
the son seemed to be doing WELL when one
morning well known blackleg called on the
old gentleman and presented him with a
check on the Bank of North America for
$1,000. II have been to the bank" said the
gambler, land they refuse to pay it. Is that
your signature?" The son had lost that
amount at the faro table the night before.
It flashed across the old merchants mind
that something must be wrong, and he OBJ
served to the gambler: "Give me that check
and win give you another" He did so, and
the gambler went away satisfied.
AS soon as he was gone the old gentleman
started for the store of his son. All seemed
sunshine there. He spoke to his son: II want
to see you up stairs" They went clear up to
the garret, out of hearing. Then the exas-
perated father drew out Of his pocket the
check. He put it under the eye of his son.
"What does it meanw The son was as
founded. He tried to shuttle it off-to explain
it away. It was Of no use. "You shall no
longer bring disgrace upon me. will put a
stopper on such goings on" On his way
down to his sons store he had bought heavy
rawhide at saddler's shop. He took his son
by the collar and gave him a most terrific
cowhiding. When he had finished he said:
"Now wind up your business as quickly as
possible" The son left the business never to
return to it again, and was never after re-
garded as of any account by his father or
any one else.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

The New York Races.

New YORK, May 14.-The spring meet
ing OF the Brooklyn Jocky club at Grove
send opened to-day. The attendance was
from $4,000 to 10000. There was no bet
ting. In view of the law prohibiting bet
ting on tracks is now before the governor
awaiting his signature, the club determined
to prevent even private betting. The fea-
ture of the day was the Brooklyn handicap.
which has been one of the winter events.
Fully $500,0OO depended on the result. 1t
was won by Dry Monopole, the favorite
second place only neck ahead of Hidalgo.
The owner of the winner, Sam Emery, is
said to have won $50, 900 on the race. Free
Knight and Quito fell at the start, and
Caldwell who rode the latter was badly
hurt.
